London North Eastern Railway

Owing to a shortage of booked traction on the East Coast corridor, a dedicated webpage has been created as part of the hire of class 90s from DB Cargo, which started in earnest on the 13th October 2016 with 90036.

There were no confirmed diagrams for the 90s at the time of writing, but the plan is to restrict them to the York and Leeds corridor with the occasional trip further north. They are used as required and this operation will remain in place until further notice.
